Greetings friends, I am currently working with an acquaintance from Portland who is leading the way to install native plants in the cloverleaf at Exit 8 off the Maine Turnpike. She has engaged a professional landscape architect to do the design work, has had all the soils tested, and has a green light (and even a modest amount of cooperation) from the Maine Turnpike authority. She provided me with a list of the plants to have me check on whether they are native (she is sticking to this very hard), and appropriate for the location. We also worked on a time line for installation. Unfortunately the MTA told her that Exit 8 may in the next 5-8 years be re-configured. So she is going ahead but starting with short term plants (a meadow) and waiting to plant trees. My question to you all is what native grasses, rushes or sedges could I recommend to her to be planted and where are they available? There is a mix of soils and wetness on this site. Some areas high and dry, and a large, often wet, ditch. thanks Susan Hayward
